Interface RenderableCollectionImageFactory

public interface RenderableCollectionImageFactory

The RenderableCollectionImageFactory (RCIF) interface
is intended to be implemented by classes that wish to act as factories
to produce different collection image operators. In JAI, the
create() method defined by this interface will be
invoked in a chain of CollectionOps when the operation is
being executed in renderable mode. The images contained in the
generated CollectionImage would be expected to be
RenderableImages.

create

Creates a CollectionImage that represents the
result of an operation (or chain of operations) for a given
ParameterBlock.
If the operation is unable to handle the input arguments, this
method should return null.

Generally this method is expected to be invoked by an operation
being executed in renderable mode. Therefore the images contained
in the generated CollectionImage would be expected to
be RenderableImages.
